I believe the Miss M is made with pompei. Last year I asked about getting a bag made with flat calf, and Marina told me that Marco was no longer using flat calf - that he was using pompei instead. I only have a tiny sample in pompei, but it feels just as sturdy as flat calf. I guess I will find out how similar they are when I get my little Tulipano. [emoji7]

Hmm. Pompei was not around 3 years ago when I bought it... I might go back to the website and check. Hopefully it’s still up.

Ok. Went to the website. It was called natural flat calf. So Pompei replaced that? Interesting. I wonder if they are really similar. Not getting something in Pompei is one of my regrets.

Thanks. I knew it was calf something.[emoji2]. Do you know of that the same leather Miss Ms are made with? Or did I confuse 2 different leathers?

Oh yes.. I totally get flat calf confused w nappa. And yes my understanding was that Pompeii would replace flat calf. Now I wish I had gotten eggplant Pompeii. My friend has a little muse and the color is STUNNING. I cannot order anything else... I cannot order anything else...I cannot...
 
I carried a small wallet, round coin purse, cell phone, glasses, small hand sanitizer and a lipstick. But nothing felt cramped and there was still room to put stuff in the pockets. Makes me think I can probably make the regular zhoe work for a weekday bag.
In my regular Zhoe, I can fit my full size wallet, a pencil case, sunglasses, mini Penelope, cell, and keys. I could still fit in a second Penelope if needed. [emoji41]

Me neither.... [emoji848]
 
I am on the fence. Not sure about which bag but there are a couple of leathers I regret not buying. Pompei is one.
I have 4 bags in Pompei and I absolutely love the leather just stunning. I have amethyst, everose shimmer, sugar cane shimmer and bought my daughter a Tulipano in everose and sugar cane Pompei. All of them are amazing.
